+- No functional changes since the previous release.
+- Fixes POD links
+ (part of core change2a6dc37471bea77f0c24fd1fe90c598a270c9968,
+ Florian Ragwitz)
+
+3.32 - Sun Sep 19 18:00:00 2010

+
+- Add TODO test for File::Spec->rel2abs() when under a symlink.

+- Promote to stable release.
+
+3.28_03 - Mon Oct 27 22:12:11 2008
+
+- In Cwd.pm, pass the un-munged $VERSION to XSLoader/DynaLoader,
+ otherwise development releases fail tests on Win32.
+
+3.28_02 - Mon Oct 27 20:13:11 2008
+
+ - Fixed some issues on QNX/NTO related to paths with double
+ slashes. [Matt Kraai & Nicholas Clark]
+
+3.28_01 - Fri Jul 25 21:18:11 2008
+
+ - Fixed and clarified the behavior of splitpath() with a $no_file
+ argument on VMS. [Craig A. Berry, Peter Edwards]
+
+ - Removed some function prototypes and other Perl::Critic violations.
+
+ - canonpath() and catdir() and catfile() on Win32 now make an
+ explicit (and unnecessary) copy of their arguments right away,
+ because apparently if we don't, we sabotage all of Win32dom. [RT
+ #33675]
+
+ - The Makefile.PL now has 'use 5.005;' to explicitly show what
+ minimum version of perl we support. [Spotted by Alexandr Ciornii]
+
+3.2701 - Mon Feb 11 21:43:51 2008
+
+ - Fixed an edge case for Win32 catdir('C:', 'foo') and catfile('C:',
+ 'foo.txt') (which the caller's not really supposed to do, that's
+ what catpath() is for) that changed between versions. Now we're
+ back to the old behavior, which was to return C:\foo and C:\foo.txt .
+ [Audrey Tang]
+
+3.27 - Wed Jan 16 20:20:49 2008
+
+ - If strlcpy() and strlcat() aren't available on the user's system,
+ we now use ppport.h to provide them, so our C code works. [Steve
+ Peters]
+
+ - Upgraded to a newer version of ppport.h [Steve Peters]
+
+3.26 - Sun Jan 13 21:59:20 2008
+
+ - case_tolerant() on Cygwin will now avoid a painful death when
+ Cygwin::mount_flags() isn't defined, as is the case for perl <
+ 5.10. It will now just return 1, which is what it always did
+ before it got so smart. [Spotted by Emanuele Zeppieri]
+
+ - abs_path() on Unix(ish) platforms has been upgraded to a much later
+ version of the underlying C code from BSD. [Michael Schwern]
+
+3.2501 - Mon Dec 24 20:33:02 2007
+
+ - Reimplemented abs_path() on VMS to use
+ VMS::Filespec::vms_realpath() when it's available. [John E. Malmberg]
+
+ - tmpdir() on Cygwin now also looks in $ENV{TMP} and $ENV{TEMP}.
+
+ - case_tolerant() on Cygwin and Win32 now take an optional path
+ argument, defaulting to the C drive, to check for case tolerance,
+ because this fact can vary on different volumes.
+
+ - File::Spec on Unix now uses Cwd::getcwd() rather than Cwd::cwd() to
+ get the current directory because I guess someone on p5p thought it
+ was more appropriate.
+
+ - Added a large set of File::Spec tests for the Cygwin platform.
+
+ - abs_path() now behaves correctly with symbolic links on VMS.
+
+ - Someone fixed a couple of mysterious edge cases in VMS' canonpath()
+ and splitdir().
+
+3.25_01 - Sat Oct 13 21:13:57 2007
+
+ - Major fixes on Win32, including a rewrite of catdir(), catfile(),
+ and canonpath() in terms of a single body of code. [Heinrich Tegethoff]
+
+ - For Win32 and Cygwin, case-tolerance can vary depending on the
+ volume under scrutiny. When Win32API::File is available, it will
+ be employed to determine case-sensitivity of the given filesystem
+ (C: by default), otherwise we still return the default of 1. [Reini
+ Urban]
+
+ - On Cygwin, we added $ENV{'TMP'} and $ENV{'TEMP'} to the list of
+ possible places to look for tmpdir() return values. [Reini Urban]
+
+ - Added lots more tests for Cygwin. [Reini Urban]
+
+ - canonpath() with no arguments and canonpath(undef) now consistently
+ return undef on all platforms. [Spotted by Peter John Edwards]
+
+ - Fixed splitdir('') and splitdir(undef) and splitdir() to return an
+ empty list on VMS and MacOS, like it does on other platforms.
+ [Craig A. Berry]
+
+ - All .pm files now have the same $VERSION number, rather than a
+ hodgepodge of various numbers.
+
+3.25 - Mon May 21 21:07:26 2007
+
+ - Added a workaround for auto-vivication-of-function-args Perl bug
+ (triggered by OS/2-specific code). [Ilya Zakharevich]
+
+ - Sync with a bleadperl change: miniperl can no longer use Win32::*
+ functions because it cannot load Win32.dll. [Jan Dubois]
+
+ - We only need to load ppport.h when building outside the core, so we
+ avoid using it when in the core.
+
+3.24 - Sun Nov 19 22:52:49 2006
+
+ - Fixed a bug in the $ENV{PWD}-updating of Cwd::chdir() when a
+ dirhandle is passed in. [Steve Peters]
+
+ - Add perl 5.005 to the list of requirements in the
+ Build.PL/Makefile.PL/META.yml.
+
+ - Add ExtUtils::CBuilder to the list of build_requires in Build.PL.
+
+ - Improved performance of canonpath() on Unix-ish platforms - on my
+ OS X laptop it looks like it's about twice as fast. [Ruslan Zakirov]
+
+3.23 - Wed Oct 11 12:11:25 2006
+
+ - Yet more Win32 fixes (sigh... seems like I'm fighting a neverending
+ waterbed...). This time, fixed file_name_is_absolute() to know
+ what it's doing when the path includes a volume but a relative
+ path, like C:foo.txt . This bug had impact in rel2abs() on Win32
+ too.
+
+3.22 - Mon Oct 9 21:50:52 2006
+
+ - Fixed the t/crossplatform.t test on Win32 (and possibly other
+ volume-aware platforms) now that rel2abs() always adds a drive
+ letter. [Reported by several parties]
+
+3.21 - Wed Oct 4 21:16:43 2006
+
+ - Added a bunch of X<> tags to the File::Spec docs to help
+ podindex. [Gabor Szabo]
+
+ - On Win32, abs2rel('C:\one\two\t\foo', 't\bar') should return
+ '..\foo' when the cwd is 'C:\one\two', but it wasn't noticing that
+ the two relevant volumes were the same so it would return the full
+ path 'C:\one\two\t\foo'. This is fixed. [Spotted by Alexandr
+ Ciornii]
+
+ - On Win32, rel2abs() now always adds a volume (drive letter) if the
+ given path doesn't have a volume (drive letter or UNC volume).
+ Previously it could return a value that didn't have a volume if the
+ input was a semi-absolute path like /foo/bar instead of a
+ fully-absolute path like C:/foo/bar .
+
+3.19 Tue Jul 11 22:40:26 CDT 2006
+
+ - When abs2rel() is called with two relative paths
+ (e.g. abs2rel('foo/bar/baz', 'foo/bar')) the resolution algorithm
+ needlessly called cwd() (twice!) to turn both arguments into
+ absolute paths. Now it avoids the cwd() calls with a workaround,
+ making a big efficiency win when abs2rel() is called
+ repeatedly. [Brendan O'Dea]
+
+ - Added a build-time dependency on ExtUtils::Install version 1.39
+ when on Windows. This is necessary because version 1.39 knows how
+ to replace an in-use Cwd shared library, but previous versions
+ don't. [Suggested by Adam Kennedy]
+
+ - Fixed File::Spec::Win32->canonpath('foo/../bar'), which was
+ returning \bar, and now properly returns just bar. [Spotted by
+ Heinrich Tegethoff]
+
+3.18 Thu Apr 27 22:01:38 CDT 2006
+
+ - Fixed some problems on VMS in which a directory called "0" would be
+ treated as a second-class citizen. [Peter (Stig) Edwards]
+
+ - Added a couple of regression tests to make sure abs2rel('/foo/bar',
+ '/') works as expected. [Chia-liang Kao]
+
+ - Added a couple of regression tests to make sure catdir('/',
+ 'foo/bar') works as expected. [Mark Grimes]
+
+3.17 Fri Mar 3 16:52:30 CST 2006
+
+ - The Cygwin version of Cwd::cwd() will croak if given any arguments
+ (which can happen if, for example, it's called as Cwd->cwd). Since
+ that croaking is bad, we now wrap the original cwd() in a
+ subroutine that ignores its arguments. We could skip this wrapping
+ if a future version of perl changes cygwin.c's cwd() to not barf
+ when fed an argument. [Jerry D. Hedden]
+
+3.16 Mon Jan 30 20:48:41 CST 2006
+
+ - Updated to version 3.06 of ppport.h, which provides backward
+ compatibility XS layers for older perl versions.
+
+ - Clarify in the docs for File::Spec's abs2rel() and rel2abs()
+ methods that the cwd() function it discusses is
+ Cwd::cwd(). [Spotted by Steven Lembark]
+
+ - Apparently the version of File::Path that ships with perl 5.8.5
+ (and perhaps others) calls Cwd::getcwd() with an argument (perhaps
+ as a method?), which causes it to die with a prototyping error.
+ We've eliminated the prototype by using the "(...)" arglist, since
+ "PROTOTYPE: DISABLE" for the function didn't seem to work. [Spotted
+ by Eamon Daly and others]
+
+3.15 Tue Dec 27 14:17:39 CST 2005
+
+ - The Cwd::getcwd() function on *nix is now a direct pass-through to
+ the underlying getcwd() C library function when possible. This is
+ safer and faster than the previous implementation, which just did
+ abs_path('.'). The pure-perl version has been kept for cases in
+ which the XS version can't load, such as when running under
+ miniperl. [Suggested by Nick Ing-Simmons]
+
+ - When Cwd searches for a 'pwd' executable in the $PATH, we now stop
+ after we find the first one rather than continuing the search. We
+ also avoid the $PATH search altogether when a 'pwd' was already
+ found in a well-known and well-trusted location like /bin or
+ /usr/bin. [Suggested by Nick Ing-Simmons]
+
+ - On Win32 abs2rel($path, $base) was failing whenever $base is the
+ root of a volume (such as C:\ or \\share\dir). This has been
+ fixed. [Reported by Bryan Daimler]
+
+ - In abs2rel() on VMS, we've fixed handling of directory trees so
+ that the test $file = File::Spec::VMS->abs2rel('[t1.t2.t3]file',
+ '[t1.t2.t3]') returns 'file' instead of an empty string. [John
+ E. Malmberg]
+
+ - In canonpath() on VMS, '[]' was totally optimized away instead of
+ just returning '[]'. Now it's fixed. [John E. Malmberg]
+
+3.14 Thu Nov 17 18:08:44 CST 2005
+
+ - canonpath() has some logic in it that avoids collapsing a
+ //double/slash at the beginning of a pathname on platforms where
+ that means something special. It used to check the value of $^O
+ rather than the classname it was called as, which meant that
+ calling File::Spec::Cygwin->canonpath() didn't act like cygwin
+ unless you were actually *on* cygwin. Now it does.
+
+ - Fixed a major bug on Cygwin in which catdir() could sometimes
+ create things that look like //network/paths in cases when it
+ shouldn't (e.g. catdir("/", "foo", "bar")).
+
+3.13 Tue Nov 15 23:50:37 CST 2005
+
+ - Calling tmpdir() on Win32 had the unintended side-effect of storing
+ some undef values in %INC for the TMPDIR, TEMP, and TMP entries if
+ they didn't exist already. This is probably a bug in perl itself
+ (submitted as #37441 on rt.perl.org), which we're now working
+ around. [Thomas L. Shinnick]
+
+ - Integrated a change from bleadperl - a certain #ifdef in Cwd.xs
+ needs to apply to WIN32 but not WinCE. [Vadim Konovalov]
+
+ - abs2rel() used to return the empty string when its two arguments
+ were identical, which made no sense. Now it returns
+ curdir(). [Spotted by David Golden]
+
+ - The Unix and Win32 implementations of abs2rel() have been unified.
+
+3.12 Mon Oct 3 22:09:12 CDT 2005
+
+ - Fixed a testing error on OS/2 in which a drive letter for the root
+ directory was confusing things. [Ilya Zakharevich]
+
+ - Integrated a patch from bleadperl for fixing path() on
+ Win32. [Gisle Aas]
+
+3.11 Sat Aug 27 20:12:55 CDT 2005
+
+ - Fixed a couple of typos in the documentation for
+ File::Spec::Mac. [Piotr Fusik]
+
+3.10 Thu Aug 25 22:24:57 CDT 2005
+
+ - eliminate_macros() and fixpath() in File::Spec::VMS are now
+ deprecated, since they are MakeMaker-specific and now live inside
+ MakeMaker. [Michael Schwern]
+
+ - canonpath() on Win32 now collapses foo/.. (or foo\..) sections
+ correctly, rather than doing the "misguided" work it was previously
+ doing. Note that canonpath() on Unix still does NOT collapse these
+ sections, as doing so would be incorrect. [Michael Schwern]
+
+3.09 Tue Jun 14 20:36:50 CDT 2005
+
+ - Added some block delimiters (brackets) in the Perl_getcwd_sv() XS
+ function, which were necessary to separate the variable
+ declarations from the statements when HAS_GETCWD is not
+ defined. [Yves]
+
+ - Apparently the _NT_cwd() routine is never defined externally like I
+ thought it was, so I simplified the code around it.
+
+ - When cwd() is implemented using the _backtick_pwd() function, it
+ sometimes could create accidental undef entries in %ENV under perl
+ 5.6, because local($hash{key}) is somewhat broken. This is now
+ fixed with an appropriate workaround. [Neil Watkiss]
+
+3.08 Sat May 28 10:10:29 CDT 2005
+
+ - Fixed a test failure with fast_abs_path() on Windows - it was
+ sensitive to the rootdir() change from version 3.07. [Steve Hay]
+
+3.07 Fri May 6 07:46:45 CDT 2005
+
+ - Fixed a bug in which the special perl variable $^O would become
+ tainted under certain versions of perl. [Michael Schwern]
+
+ - File::Spec->rootdir() was returning / on Win32. Now it returns \ .
+ [Michael Schwern]
+
+ - We now avoid modifying @_ in tmpdir() when it's not strictly
+ necessary, which reportedly provides a modest performance
+ boost. [Richard Soderberg]
+
+ - Made a couple of slight changes to the Win32 code so that it works
+ (or works better) on Symbian OS phones. [Jarkko Hietaniemi]
+
+3.06 Wed Apr 13 20:47:26 CDT 2005
+
+ (No changes in functionality)
+
+ - Added a note to the canonpath() docs about why it doesn't collapse
+ foo/../bar sections.
+
+ - The internal-only function bsd_realpath() in the XS file now uses
+ normal arg syntax instead of K&R syntax. [Nicholas Clark]
+
+3.05 Mon Feb 28 07:22:58 CST 2005
+
+ - Fixed a bug in fast_abs_path() on Win32 in which forward- and
+ backward-slashes were confusing things. [demerphq]
+
+ - Failure to load the XS code in Cwd is no longer a fatal error
+ (though failure to compile it is still a fatal error in the build
+ process). This lets Cwd work under miniperl in the core. [Rafael
+ Garcia-Suarez]
+
+ - In the t/cwd.t test, don't enforce loading from blib/ if we're
+ testing in the perl core. [Rafael Garcia-Suarez]
+
+3.04 Sun Feb 6 17:27:38 CST 2005
+
+ - For perls older than 5.006, the HAS_GETCWD symbol is not available,
+ because it wasn't checked for in older Configure scripts when perl
+ was built. We therefore just ask the user whether the getcwd() C
+ function is defined on their platform when their perl is old.
+ Maybe in the future we'll try to automate this. [Reported by
+ several parties]
+
+ - Remove lib/ppport.h from the distribution, so that MakeMaker
+ doesn't accidentally pick it up and install it as a lib
+ file. [Jerry Hedden]
+
+ - Fixed a testing error on VMS that occurred when a user had
+ read-access to the root of the current volume. [Craig A. Berry]
+
+3.03 Fri Jan 21 21:44:05 CST 2005
+
+ - Fixed a testing error if the first file we find in the root
+ directory is a symlink. [Blair Zajac]
+
+ - Added a test to make sure Cwd.pm is loaded from blib/ during
+ testing, which seems to be an issue in some people's environments
+ and makes it awfully hard to debug things on my end.
+
+ - Skip the _perl_abs_path() tests on Cygwin - they don't usually
+ pass, and this function isn't used there anyway, so I decided not
+ to push it. Let 'em use `cwd`.
+
+3.02 Sun Jan 9 19:29:52 CST 2005
+
+ - Fixed a bug in which Cwd::abs_path() called on a file in the root
+ directory returned strange results. [Bob Luckin]
+
+ - Straightened out the licensing details for the portion of the Cwd
+ module that comes from BSD sources. [Hugo van der Sanden]
+
+ - Removed the prototype from _perl_abs_path() and the XS version of
+ abs_path(), since all they seemed to be doing was causing people
+ grief, and since some platforms didn't have them anyway.
+
+ - Fixed a testing bug in which sometimes the wrong version of Cwd
+ (the version already installed on the user's machine) would get
+ loaded instead of the one we're building & installing.
+
+ - Sometimes getdcwd() returns a lower-case drive letter, so don't
+ require an upper-case letter in t/win32.t. [Jan Dubois]
+
+ - Fixed a memory leak in getdcwd() on win32. [Steve Hay]
+
+ - Added a copy of ppport.h to the distribution to aid compilation on
+ older versions of perl. [Suggested by Charlie Root]
+
+ - Don't bother looking for a 'pwd' executable on MSWin32 - there
+ won't be one, and looking for it can be extremely slow when lots of
+ disks are mounted. [Several people, including Andrew Burke]
+
+ - Eliminated a multi-argument form of open() that was causing a
+ syntax error on older versions of perl. [Fixed by Michael Schwern]
+
+ - The bug-fix changes for revision 0.90 of File::Spec somehow were
+ lost when I merged it into the PathTools distribution. They're
+ restored now. [Craig A. Berry]
+
+ - File::Spec->canonpath() will now reduce paths like '[d1.-]foo.dat'
+ down to '[000000]foo.dat' instead of '[]foo.dat' or 'foo.dat'.
+ This is in better accordance with the native filename syntax
+ parser. [Craig A. Berry]
+
+ - In order to remove a recursive dependency (PathTools -> Test-Simple
+ -> Test-Harness -> PathTools), we now include a copy of Test::More in
+ the distribution. It is only used for testing, it won't be installed
+ with the rest of the stuff.
+
+ - Removed some 5.6-isms from Cwd in order to get it to build with
+ older perls like 5.005.
+
+ - abs_path() on Windows was trampling on $ENV{PWD} - fixed. [Spotted
+ by Neil MacMullen]
+
+ - Added licensing/copyright statements to the POD in each .pm
+ file. [Spotted by Radoslaw Zielinski]
+
+3.01 Mon Sep 6 22:28:06 CDT 2004
+
+ - Removed an unnecessary and confusing dependency on File::Spec from
+ the Makefile.PL and the Build.PL.
+
+ - Added a 'NAME' entry to the Makefile.PL, because otherwise it won't
+ even begin to work. [Reported by many]
+
+3.00 Thu Sep 2 22:15:07 CDT 2004
+
+ - Merged Cwd and File::Spec into a single PathTools distribution.
+ This was done because the two modules use each other fairly
+ extensively, and extracting the common stuff into another
+ distribution was deemed nigh-impossible. The code in revision 3.00
+ of PathTools should be equivalent to the code in Cwd 2.21 and
+ File::Spec 0.90.
+
+==================================================================
+Prior to revision 3.00, Cwd and File::Spec were maintained as two
+separate distributions. The revision history for Cwd is shown here.
+The revision history for File::Spec is further below.
+==================================================================
+
+Cwd 2.21 Tue Aug 31 22:50:14 CDT 2004
+
+ - Removed "NO_META" from the Makefile.PL, since I'm not building the
+ distribution with MakeMaker anyway. [Rohan Carly]
+
+ - Only test _perl_abs_path() on platforms where it's expected to work
+ (platforms with '/' as the directory separator). [Craig A. Berry]
+
+Cwd 2.20 Thu Jul 22 08:23:53 CDT 2004
+
+ - On some implementations of perl on Win32, a memory leak (or worse?)
+ occurred when calling getdcwd(). This has been fixed. [PodMaster]
+
+ - Added tests for getdcwd() on Win32.
+
+ - Fixed a problem in the pure-perl implementation _perl_abs_path()
+ that caused a fatal error when run on plain files. [Nicholas Clark]
+ To exercise the appropriate test code on platforms that wouldn't
+ otherwise use _perl_abs_path(), run the tests with $ENV{PERL_CORE}
+ or $ENV{TEST_PERL_CWD_CODE} set.
+
+Cwd 2.19 Thu Jul 15 08:32:18 CDT 2004
+
+ - The abs_path($arg) fix from 2.18 didn't work for VMS, now it's
+ fixed there. [Craig Berry]
+
+Cwd 2.18 Thu Jun 24 08:22:57 CDT 2004
+
+ - Fixed a problem in which abs_path($arg) on some platforms could
+ only be called on directories, and died when called on files. This
+ was a problem in the pure-perl implementation _perl_abs_path().
+
+ - Fixed fast_abs_path($arg) in the same way as abs_path($arg) above.
+
+ - On Win32, a function getdcwd($vol) has been added, which gets the
+ current working directory of the specified drive/volume.
+ [Steve Hay]
+
+ - Fixed a problem on perl 5.6.2 when built with the MULTIPLICITY
+ compile-time flags. [Yitzchak Scott-Thoennes]
+
+ - When looking for a `pwd` system command, we no longer assume the
+ path separator is ':'.
+
+ - On platforms where cwd() is implemented internally (like Win32),
+ don't look for a `pwd` command externally. This can greatly speed
+ up load time. [Stefan Scherer]
+
+ - The pure-perl version of abs_path() now has the same prototype as
+ the XS version (;$).
+
+Cwd 2.17 Wed Mar 10 07:55:36 CST 2004
+
+ - The change in 2.16 created a testing failure when tested from
+ within a path that contains symlinks (for instance, /tmp ->
+ /private/tmp).
+
+Cwd 2.16 Sat Mar 6 17:56:31 CST 2004
+
+ - For VMS compatibility (and to conform to Cwd's documented
+ interface), in the regression tests we now compare output results
+ to an absolute path. [Craig A. Berry]
+
+Cwd 2.15 Fri Jan 16 08:09:44 CST 2004
+
+ - Fixed a problem on static perl builds - while creating
+ Makefile.aperl, it was loading a mismatched version of Cwd from
+ blib/ . [Reported by Blair Zajac]
+
+Cwd 2.14 Thu Jan 8 18:51:08 CST 2004
+
+ - We now use File::Spec->canonpath() and properly-escaped regular
+ expressions when comparing paths in the regression tests. This
+ fixes some testing failures in 2.13 on non-Unix platforms. No
+ changes were made in the actual Cwd module code. [Steve Hay]
+
+Cwd 2.13 Fri Jan 2 22:29:42 CST 2004
+
+ - Changed a '//' comment to a '/* */' comment in the XS code, so that
+ it'll compile properly under ANSI C rules. [Jarkko Hietaniemi]
+
+ - Fixed a 1-character buffer overrun problem in the C code. [The BSD
+ people]
+
+Cwd 2.12 Fri Dec 19 17:04:52 CST 2003
+
+ - Fixed a bug on Cygwin - the output of realpath() should have been
+ tainted, but wasn't. [Reported by Tom Wyant]
+
+Cwd 2.10 Mon Dec 15 07:50:12 CST 2003
+
+ (Note that this release was mistakenly packaged as version 2.11, even
+ though it had an internal $VERSION variable of 2.10. Not sure how
+ THAT happened...)
+
+ - There was a dependency in the Makefile.PL on Module::Build, which
+ isn't necessary. I've removed it.
+
+Cwd 2.09 Thu Dec 11 20:30:58 CST 2003
+
+ - The module should now build & install using version 5.6 of perl.
+
+ - We now note a build-time dependency on version 0.19 of
+ Module::Build, which is necessary because we don't use the standard
+ lib/-based file layout. No version of Module::Build is required if
+ you use the Makefile.PL, just if you use the Build.PL .
+
+ - Removed some gratuitous uses of 5.6-isms like our(), with the aim
+ of backporting this module to perl 5.005.
+
+ - Simplified all code that autoloads Carp.pm and calls
+ carp()/croak().
+
+ - Removed some redundant OS/2 code at the suggestion of Michael
+ Schwern and Ilya Zakharevich.
+
+ - Make sure the correct version of Cwd.pm is loaded in the regression
+ tests. [Sam Vilain]
+
+Cwd 2.08 Wed Oct 15 20:56 CDT 2003
+
+ - Code extracted from perl 5.8.1 and packaged as a separate CPAN
+ release by Ken Williams.
+
+==================================================================
+Prior to revision 3.00, Cwd and File::Spec were maintained as two

+==================================================================
+
+File::Spec 0.90 Tue Aug 31 22:34:50 CDT 2004
+
+ - On VMS, directories use vmspath() and files use vmsify(), so
+ rel2abs() has to use some 'educated guessing' when dealing with
+ paths containing slashes. [Craig A. Berry]
+
+File::Spec 0.89 Sun Aug 29 19:02:32 CDT 2004
+
+ - Fixed some pathological cases on VMS which broke canonpath() and
+ splitdir(). [Richard Levitte and Craig A. Berry]
+
+ - Fixed rel2abs() on VMS when passed a unix-style relative
+ path. [Craig A. Berry]
+
+File::Spec 0.88 Thu Jul 22 23:14:32 CDT 2004
+
+ - rel2abs() on Win32 will now use the new Cwd::getdcwd() function, so
+ that things like rel2abs('D:foo.txt') work properly when the
+ current drive isn't 'D'. This requires Cwd version 2.18.
+ [Steve Hay]
+
+ - Got rid of a redundant double-backslash in a character
+ class. [Alexander Farber]
+
+ - Added much markup to pod for enhanced readability. [Andy Lester]
+
+File::Spec 0.87 Fri Dec 19 08:03:28 CST 2003
+
+ - With a one-line change in the tests, backported to perl 5.004.
+ [Issue reported by Barry Kemble]
+
+File::Spec 0.86 Fri Sep 26 10:07:39 CDT 2003
+
+ - This is the version released with perl 5.8.1. It is identical to
+ the code in the File::Spec beta 0.85_03.
+
+File::Spec 0.85_03 Mon Sep 15 09:35:53 CDT 2003
+
+ - On VMS, if catpath() receives volume specifiers in both its first
+ two arguments, it will now use the volume in the first argument
+ only. Previously it returned a non-syntactical result which
+ included both volumes. This change is the same in spirit to the
+ catpath() MacOS change from version 0.85_02.
+
+ - Fixed an abs2rel() bug on VMS - previously
+ abs2rel('[t1.t2.t3]file','[t1.t2]') returned '[t3]file', now it
+ properly returns '[.t3]file'.
+
+File::Spec 0.85_02 Fri Sep 12 17:11:13 CDT 2003
+
+ - abs2rel() now behaves more consistently across platforms with the
+ notion of a volume. If the volumes of the first and second
+ argument (the second argument may be implicit) do not agree, we do
+ not attempt to reconcile the paths, and simply return the first
+ argument. Previously the volume of the second argument was
+ (usually) ignored, resulting in sometimes-garbage output.
+
+ - catpath() on MacOS now looks for a volume element (i.e. "Macintosh HD:")
+ in its first argument, and then its second argument. The first
+ volume found will be used, and if none is found, none will be used.
+
+ - Fixed a problem in abs2rel() on Win32 in which the volume of the
+ current working directory would get added to the second argument if
+ none was specified. This might have been somewhat helpful, but it
+ was contrary to the documented behavior. For example,
+ abs2rel('C:/foo/bar', '/foo') used to return 'bar', now it returns
+ 'C:/foo/bar' because there's no guarantee /foo is actually C:/foo .
+
+ - catdir('/', '../') on OS2 previously erroneously returned '//..',
+ and now it returns '/'.
+
+File::Spec 0.85_01 Thu Sep 11 16:18:54 CDT 2003
+
+ Working toward 0.86, the version that will be released with perl 5.8.1.
+
+ - The t/rel2abs2rel.t test now is a little friendlier about emitting
+ its diagnostic debugging output. [Jarkko Hietaniemi]
+
+ - We now only require() Cwd when it's needed, on demand. [Michael
+ Schwern, Tels]
+
+ - Fixed some POD errors and redundancies in OS2.pm and Cygwin.pm.
+ [Michael Schwern]
+
+ - The internal method cwd() has been renamed to _cwd(), since it was
+ never meant for public use. [Michael Schwern]
+
+ - Several methods in File::Spec::Unix that just return constant
+ strings have been sped up. catdir() has also been sped up there.
+ [Tels]
+
+ - Several canonpath() and catdir() bugs on Win32 have been fixed, and
+ tests added for them:
+ catdir('/', '../') -> '\\' (was '\..')
+ catdir('/', '..\\') -> '\\ (was '')
+ canonpath('\\../') -> '\\' (was '')
+ canonpath('\\..\\') -> '\\' (was '')
+ canonpath('/../') -> '\\' (was '\..')
+ canonpath('/..\\') -> '\\' (was '')
+ catdir('\\', 'foo') -> '\foo' (was '\\foo')
+
+ - catpath($volume, $dirs, $file) on Mac OS now ignores any volume
+ that might be part of $dirs, enabling catpath($volume,
+ catdir(rootdir(), 'foo'), '') to work portably across platforms.
+
+File::Spec 0.85 Tue Jul 22 11:31 CDT 2003
+
+ A bug-fix release relative to 0.84. I've forked development into a
+ "stable" branch (this one) and a more aggressive branch (as yet
+ unreleased), with an eye toward getting the stable features in perl
+ 5.8.1.
+
+ - File::Spec::Mac->case_tolerant() returned 0 when it should have
+ returned 1.
+
+ - Many cases in File::Spec::Win32->abs2rel() were broken, because of
+ the way in which volumes were/weren't ignored. Unfortunately, part
+ of the regression tests were broken too. Now, if the $path
+ argument to abs2rel() is on a different volume than the $base
+ argument, the result will be an absolute path rather than the
+ broken relative path previous versions returned.
+
+ - Fixed a problem in File::Spec::Win32->canonpath, which was turning
+ \../foo into "foo" rather than \foo
+
+ - Greatly simplified the code in File::Spec::Unix->splitdir().
+
+File::Spec 0.84_01 Fri Jul 11 16:14:29 CDT 2003
+
+ No actual code changes, just changes in other distribution files
+
+ - Dependencies are now listed explicitly in the Makefile.PL and
+ Build.PL scripts, as well as in the META.yml file.
+
+ - The t/abs2rel2abs.t test should now be more friendly about skipping
+ on platforms where it can't run properly.
+
+File::Spec 0.84 Wed Jul 9 22:21:23 CDT 2003
+
+ I (Ken)'ve taken the changes from bleadperl and created a new CPAN release
+ from them, since they're pretty important changes. The highlights,
+ from what I can tell, are listed here.
+
+ - A huge number of changes to File::Spec::Mac in order to bring it in
+ line with the other platforms. This work was mostly/completely
+ done by Thomas Wegner.
+
+ - The Epoc and Cygwin platforms are now supported.
+
+ - Lots of generically-applicable documentation has been taken from
+ File::Spec::Unix and put in File::Spec.
+
+ - A Build.PL has been provided for people who wish to install via
+ Module::Build.
+
+ - Some spurious warnings and errors in the tests have been
+ eliminated. [Michael Schwern]
+
+ - canonpath() on File::Spec::Unix now honors a //node-name at the
+ beginning of a path.
+
+ - Cwd.pm wasn't being loaded properly on MacOS. [Chris Nandor]
+
+ - Various POD fixups
+
+ - Several testing patches for the Epoc and Cygwin platforms [Tels]
+
+ - When running under taint mode and perl >= 5.8, all the tmpdir()
+ implementations now avoid returning a tainted path.
+
+ - File::Spec::OS2 now implements canonpath(), splitpath(),
+ splitdir(), catpath(), abs2rel(), and rel2abs() directly rather
+ than inheriting them from File::Spec::Unix.
+
+ - Added 'SYS:/temp' and 'C:/temp' to the list of possible tmpdir()s
+ on Win32.
+
+ - catfile() on Win32 and VMS will now automatically call canonpath()
+ on its final argument.
+
+ - canonpath() on Win32 now does a much more extensive cleanup of the
+ path.
+
+ - abs2rel() on Win32 now defaults to using cwd() as the base of
+ relativity when no base is given.
+
+ - abs2rel() on Win32 now explicitly ignores any volume component in
+ the $path argument.
+
+ - canonpath() on VMS now does []foo ==> foo, and foo.000000] ==> foo].
+ It also fixes a bug in multiple [000000.foo ==> [foo translations.
+
+ - tmpdir() on VMS now uses 'sys$scratch:' instead of 'sys$scratch'.
+
+ - abs2rel() on VMS now uses '000000' in both the path and the base.
+
+File::Spec 0.82 Wed Jun 28 11:24:05 EDT 2000
+ - Mac.pm: file_name_is_absolute( '' ) now returns TRUE on all platforms
+ - Spec.pm: unbreak C<$VERSION = '0.xx'> to be C<$VERSION = 0.xx>, so
+ underscores can be used when I want to update CPAN without anyone
+ needing to update the perl repository.
+ - abs2rel, rel2abs doc tweaks
+ - VMS.pm: get $path =~ /\s/ checks from perl repository.
+ - Makefile.PL: added INSTALLDIRS => 'perl', since these are std. modules.
+ - Remove vestigial context prototypes from &rel2abs until some future
+ arrives where method prototypes are honored.
